Dean hesitated to call the deadly shooting an act of terror, saying that investigators had no immediate evidence of a terror link. He also did not know a possible motive for the attack.

This is similar in many ways to the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas in which Stephen Paddock killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500 other concertgoers.

Investigators almost immediately ruled out terrorism as the motive. But then again, Paddock was a white male, a demographic that has many times eluded being labeled terrorists (even though most mass shootings are statistically committed by White men).

Trump called the Las Vegas shooting “an act of pure evil” but not terrorism in his address to the nation.

In Wednesday night’s California shooting, a sheriff’s deputy was among the dead. Sheriff Sgt. Ron Helus was shot after he entered the building and died early Thursday morning at a hospital.

#Yexit? NOPE! No #Blexit for you from Trump because you’re losing money. You insulted African-Americans openly. You believed every word & embraced nationalists, neoNazis & racists. Stop simpering & deal with your shame like a man. Draw some courage from that #MAGA Hat you love! https://t.co/bHEi3Ohy5t

Here’s why I’m placing no stock in that tweet:WHICH messages, Kanye? Cause you been spreading all kinds of bullsh*t. Which ones, specifically, do you feel you were “used” with?My guess is this is solely about Candace’s Blexit campaign. Not alllllllllll the other shenanigans.

Huh, yesterday Kanye RTs Candace’s tweet about how Kanye just designed the logo but isn’t otherwise involved in Blexit. And today Kanye insists he didn’t design the logo. In any case, stop giving your money and attention to people who support the dangerous far-right. https://t.co/illL4CGj2Y
